:Perhaps a simpler task would be "Download all samples in Language X". That would provide a starting point for someone wanting to run them but would also be useful for other purposes such as programming language research (see "A Comparitive Study Of Programming Languages In Rosetta Code" by Sebastian Nanz and Carlo A. Furia), or using RC as a compiler test suite. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 11:04, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
::That's basically what the 'extra credit' is asking for and, yes, it might be useful for academic purposes. But, as far as the task itself is concerned, it may still be impractical for languages which have a lot of entries some of which take hours to run (days in the case of one Pascal entry I can recall!). --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 18:29, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
